the next couple of days were calm and quiet. she had been staying at home, but heading down to the beach to watch the sunsets. today was sunday and juno was cleaning her house while listening to her 'ride the lightning' vinyl. noel had called her an hour ago and told her that he was in eastbourne, which was only about 45 minutes away from brighton, so the two decided that noel could sleepover, before the two would head up to manchester the next day to continue recording.
juno was just finishing changing her guest rooms bedsheets, when she got a knock at the door. she quickly finished putting a pillowcase on one of the pillows, before rushing downstairs to let noel in.
"noel! come on in love"! juno grinned, stepping aside so noel could enter, a black duffel bag slung over his shoulder.
"it smells so good in here". noel smiled, pulling juno in for a hug.
"i've made spaghetti bolognese. go put your bag in the guest room. i'll dish up. would you like a beer"? juno asked.
"yes please, i'll be right back". noel replied, going to drop his bag upstairs.
juno dished up two bowls of pasta, grabbing noel a beer as well as making a mojito for herself. she placed everything on her dining room table, just as noel returned. noel sat across from juno, and took a sip of his beer.
"so what brings you down here"? juno asked, sipping her mojito.
"oh, i was meeting up with a friend, thought i'd swing by and see how you were holding up". noel replied, twirling some spaghetti on his fork.
"i've been alright actually. mainly been focusing on myself. trying to figure out what i want in life". juno said, resting her head on her hand.
"you've got quite a bit of options, don't you". noel replied, taking a bite of his pasta.
"yeah i do. i'm not leaving oasis over this. liam can be a prick all he wants". juno stated.
"i'm glad. wouldn't want it to end like that. what about albarn"? noel asked, wiggling his eyebrows.
"god noel. i don't know. he's lovely, but i really don't want to move too quickly. i spoke to simon about it, actually". juno replied.
"oh that's nice, how is he"? noel asked. he had always liked simon.
"he's great. they just finished their world tour, i think they flew back home from dublin a couple days ago. hopefully he'll come down soon". juno replied.
"good for him. by the way, this spaghetti is delicious juno". noel replied.
juno and noel finished their food, and then plugged into juno's amps to play some tunes. after about an hour, the two were exhausted and called it quits for the day. juno made sure noel was all set up in her guest room, before making her way into her bedroom with her acoustic guitar, writing some random lyrics she could come up with.
juno played bass, obviously, so she only had very little skills when it came to guitar. she put her capo on the second fret, and started to attempt to develop a simple chord progression. after a while, she found a nice rhythm and started thinking of lyrics for the song.
juno had some insane talent when it came to songwriting. she could take basically any chord progression, baseline, or beat, and turn it into a song. lyrics just popped into her mind so easily. an so, after a few hours of thinking, writing, and strumming, juno came up with a song that she thought she could show to noel in the morning, and maybe even get on their album.
they were nearly done with recording all of the songs for (what's the story?) morning glory, however it was a pretty short album, so juno had hope that noel would allow her to add it onto the album.
juno put her guitar back on it's wall mounted stand, and climbed back into bed. she looked over at the green rotary phone on her nightstand, and decided to give someone a ring. she grabbed the phone, and dialed the number that was on a piece of paper beside the phone. it rang a few times, before a familiar voice filled the speakerr.
"hello"? damon asked.
"hi damon". juno replied. she was beginning to grow extremely fond of the man.
"well hello juno". damon smiled softly. he was also sitting in his bed.
"how's recording been going"? she asked.
"it's been okay. we've been needing a couple lines here and there to get through it, but we're getting there". damon chuckled. coke had quickly become a normal part of damon's life after blowing up, as well as a slight heroin addiction, which he claimed just made him 'more creative'.
"god damon, remember to be careful with that shit". juno replied, going full mum mode on damon, knowing damn well she was quite fond of coke herself.
"yeah yeah. what have you been up to then"? damon asked.
"noel came to visit today. him and i are gonna head back up to manchester tomorrow to record". juno replied, opening the window s over her bed and grabbing a marlboro gold from her nightstand.
"that's nice. you should come visit for a bit on your way up". damon suggested, hoping she'd comply.
"that could possibly be arranged, would have to check my extremely superbly busy schedule". juno replied sarcastically, lighting the cigarette between her lips.
"mmm would hate to bother the juno le bon. it would be such an honour to breathe the same air as her". damon said, fake gawking.
"i know it would be. imagine getting to be in the presence of such a mystical being". juno replied, talking a draw of her cigarette.
"oh golly... it's my dream to meet her.. she's my celebrity crush. she's so fit, i want her to choke me"! damon said in a high pitched voice, imitating what sounded like a duran duran fangirl.
"damon"! juno whisper shouted. she couldn't believe he had just said that.
"i'm kidding i'm kidding... kinda". damon replied cheekily.
"damon! that settles it my schedule is far too busy tomorrow". juno chuckled.
"oh no.. in that case i guess i won't give you my address".. damon teased.
"well, if i was hypothetically stranded in london, i might as well have it just in case". juno replied.
"mmm i don't think so". damon continued to teased.
"maybe if you'd be oh so sweet and give me a ring in the morning i'll tell you then". he added.
"fine. but you better answer the phone. plus, noel is gonna be with me. not sure how that'll end up going". juno replied, putting out her cigarette on the ashtray on her window sill.
"we'll figure it out. maybe you can stay the night and noel can continue up tomorrow on his own"? damon asked.
"i'd have to check with him and see if that's alright, but i'm sure that'll be fine. i'm gonna head to bed, i'll talk to you tomorrow". juno replied.
"alright, goodnight juno, sleep well love". damon said.
"you too. see you tomorrow". juno replied.
